Shattered Echoes

[Verse] Thought I had it all but it broke in my hands Fragments of dreams slipping like sand Couldn't hold you regret tastes so bitter Shadows of us in the dark growing dimmer [Verse 2] Whispered apologies lost in the wind Mirror reflects what I can't rescind Searching for peace in the bottleneck haze Every silence echoes the days [Chorus] Regret's a filter distorts what we see Struggling to grasp what we could've been Every tune in my head fades Acoustic strains of what never stayed [Verse 3] Streets we wandered now empty and cold Memories burn like a story retold Writing the lines of a history unfound Notes on a page in your absence I'm bound [Bridge] Cried out to the night to hear your reply But the stars just stared from the indifferent sky Every tear every drop hits like a drum In the silence of grief I've become [Chorus] Regret's a filter distorts what we see Struggling to grasp what we could've been Every tune in my head fades Acoustic strains of what never stayed
